Hello Again.
After last years MONUMENTAL thread became the second most popular thread on the entire website, (Over 400k views & 6k replies) I thought I'd make another for this years iPhone release. 

Just like last year let's use this thread purely for Tracking Preorders and any related discussion around it. 

You can find a general discussion thread here: https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year... 

Last year was a mess for EE, Let's hope things are different this year.

Just come home to find two packages from EE! Opened them both,  lo and behold I now have two new iPhone 16 Pro’s in my possession! Currently on to customer services to find out how to return one of them.

I also ordered on the 13th with it saying delivery on launch day.

Spoken to EE today to be told all pro max iPhones take up to 28 days for delivery due to high demand and stock. What was the point in pre ordering then.. not impressed

Yes same here. 

It’s disgusting it really is. 

Yes, it will automatically pop up on dpd, you do not need a reference number, it automatically appears when your ee order is picked up

That’s strange, I was on the priority list for some reason so that may be why I got it today. Apparently if you’ve been a loyal customer with ee you get out on a priority list so every time there is a pre order the priority people get their phones sent out first 

It automatically pops up on dpd once your item has been collected from the ee warehouse 

Yes, i have been with them for 10 years now so assumed i would make the
priority list also pay £80+ monthly for my phone so thought i may receive
today but no updates at all 😞

Well, the tech support drone has informed me, despite taking my additional money for the upfront cost, issuing me with a confirmation email, my phone wasn't ordered.

Same thing with me! 

I pre-ordered for launch day. I literally checked a day later and it was still "for launch day" delivery. 

I don't see why they'd lie blatantly like that. At least be honest if it's gonna be late.
